Spring 2018 Fashion Trend: the Color of the Season

Spring 2018 Fashion Trend: the Color of the Season (and an easy way to wear it!)

Pantone named ultraviolet as the 2018 color of the year, so it’s no surprise that a lighter, softer version of the color is so on trend for this spring! Yup, lavender is being touted as the trendy hue of the spring 2018 season.

Be prepared to see lots of beautiful, light purple clothing and accessories popping up over the coming months. I’ve seen some in the stores already, and with spring fast approaching, even more styles will be introduced soon.

One really easy way to incorporate this trend into your entire spring wardrobe is with a lavender jacket. I’m currently obsessed with this one from American Eagle. You can wear this jacket over almost any outfit, so it’s a great way to be on-trend without spending too much or taking up a huge amount of space in your closet.

I’ve worn it out a couple of times already, and a few people even stopped me to ask where I got it.

I love that it features just a little bit of destruction for a trendy look, but not too much.

Other Lavender Pieces

I also love lavender and lilac-toned jewelry for a simple, quick way to add this color to your palette (scroll to the bottom of this post for a couple of great options). Of course, there’s nothing wrong with buying this gorgeous hue in tops and jeans, too – especially if you love this color!

An awesome thing about this trend is that lavender will never go completely out of style. Do you know how so many trends are over-the-top and seem totally out of place by the next year? You don’t have to worry about that with colors: even when a color is no longer the ‘it’ color of the season, it’s still totally wearable. Any lavender pieces you buy now can be worn for years to come.

A quick note about fashion trends: I’m a firm believer that you should only wear what you love. If this trend isn’t speaking to you, you don’t have to try to make it work for you. After all, trends aren’t rules! Fashion should always be fun, and it should always make you feel your best. It may sound cheesy, but being yourself will never go out of style.
